Description
The design is inspired by the traditional boathouses at the Carinthian lakes and takes the idea one step further.
The house is placed on a wooden platform, which acts as an extension of the interior.
A simple wooden house is erected on this basis.

The ground floor is conceived as a flowing space continuum and is zoned by means of room-dividing elements (steps, kitchen island, wood stove). Omitting the walls provides the area with the greatest possible sense of space.

Winter garden in the upper floor. There are two rooms on the upper floor, which are connected to the west-facing winter garden by sliding doors. The bathroom and a storage room are arranged to the east.
